Introduction Stress may cause prospective escalations in abdominal pain magnitude and
accumbal TRPV1 expression, while central neural circuits mediating these stress effects …

Stress alters the level of reward evaluation and seeking. However, the neural circuitry
mechanisms underlying stress induced effects on natural reward seeking remain unclear …

Maladaptation to stress is a critical risk factor in stress-related disorders, such as major
depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Dopamine signaling in the nucleus …

The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is the major component of the ventral striatum that regulates
stress-induced depression. The NAc receives dopaminergic inputs from the ventral …

Stress is a potent modulator of pain. Specifically, acute stress due to physical restraint
induces stress-induced analgesia (SIA). However, where and how acute stress and pain …

Rationale and objective This study was undertaken to assess the modulating effects of (1)
pre-exposure to repeated social disruption and (2) group testing on writhing associated with …

The anterior lateral bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (alBST) expresses glucagon-like
peptide-1 receptors (GLP1Rs) and receives input from caudal brainstem GLP1 neurons …

Stress has been shown to promote the development and persistence of binge eating
behaviors. However, the neural circuit mechanisms for stress-induced binge-eating …

Chronic stress alters the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis and enhances visceral
and somatosensory pain perception. It is unresolved whether chronic stress has distinct …

Introduction Stress is a known trigger for the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a
gastrointestinal (GI) disorder that presents with abnormal bowel habits and abdominal pain …
